More then 2,000 children die each day for malaria-approximately one every 40 seconds.

Eighty-five percent of malaria deaths are children under 5 years old. Malaria is the second-biggest killer of children in Africa.

WHO estimates that 50 percent of the world's population is at risk of malaria. An estimated 250 million people are infected with the disease each year.
